James Bond: James Bond Films
built 236 days ago
While the essence of Bond remains the same, the gadgets, villains and adventures, even the actor playing James Bond has had to change to keep up with the uncertain times ahead. This is true ... for the bond girls. The bond girls have constantly been changing becoming distinctly more complex and enjoying a greater freedom and scope with ranging roles in the films. As long as there is James Bond 007, there will always be bond girls. These girls will be eternal members of an elite club that hold the title of ‘bond girl’ whether it be past, present or future.

A Bond girl is a character portraying Bond's love interest or sex object. In most films, they are victims rescued by Bond, ally agents, villainesses or henchwomen. Some, such as Honey Ryder, solely seduce the secret agent and have no direct involvement in his mission. Two of them — Gala Brand and Vivienne Michel — appear only in the novels and have been excluded from the films.

Bond's specific birth year is unknown. Most researchers or biographers have concluded that Bond was born in 1920, 1921 or 1924. Nevertheless, the character remains roughly in his late thirties in both films and novels, with the exception of the Young Bond novels launched in 2005 and written by Charlie Higson.

While it's a prerequisite that a bond girl does have to be gorgeous and look absolutely stunning usually wearing as little as possible, this does not make the girls bimbos. Occasionally this has been true in a number of films, but this is because the character is limited in depth and scope giving the impression the talented actress is like the character she plays. The bond girls often play highly intelligent roles as villains, other agents and professionals who frequently could play the role of Bond just as well, if not sometimes better than Bond himself.
